It seems that I may be a little addicted to hot cheesy dips. Last week I made a hot sweet onion dip and while I was looking for recipes for it I came across some recipes for hot spinach and artichoke dip. This new dip filled with cheese, cream cheese and mayonnaise sounded so good that I had to try it right away. But, with both spinach and artichokes in it, it is just a little bit healthier. ;) One of the things that I liked about this recipe was that I would get to use artichokes again and I had been looking forward to doing so. The last time I used fresh artichokes and this time I got to try canned ones. This dip is super easy to make; you just mix all of the ingredients and bake until bubbling and golden brown on top. The spinach and artichoke dip was amazing! It was warm and cheesy and full of flavour! The big chunks of artichokes were nice and went well with the spinach in the dip. The chili sauce that I added left a nice after taste of heat that I enjoyed. I served the dip with some whole grain crackers.

This is probably my very favorite dip. There is a place in Napa Valley called Rutherford Grill that makes the best I have had. My sis lives in Napa so I get to go to restaurants that many tourists may not go to or know about. I will have to try yours because it looks just as good.

i adore artichokes! had artichokes, sundried tomatoes and feta cheese salad 2 days ago and it was amazing. this dip looks fantastic and so delicious. but have never seen frozen spinach before in the supermarkets! :)

I will have to make this for the football game on Saturday! A great crowd pleaser for sure! We made your spinach and mushroom crepes. They were fabulous! We posted them today and linked to you. I hope that is ok!

Love your blog by the way. I made a spinach and artichoke dip last Saturday. It was an Emeril recipe from foodnetwork.com. I think more of my friends liked it more than I did. The base was a blond roux (flour and canola oil)with milk, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese (shredded). I will try your recipe for the dip next.

I recently made a dip just like this but I actually drained the artichokes, tossed them with some olive oil, salt & pepper, and then roasted them for 20 minutes before chopping them and putting them into the dip. It added a layer of flavor. Your pictures are amazing!

I love artichokes and spichnacs Kevin!!! Sometimes (you know Im speaking in spanish) I need more words to say you how I feel how really yummy is all you make!! You really amazing me!!! xxxxGloriaLook so wonderful

you can leave it at that and cut up a baguette cut into rounds drizzled with olive oil and baked for 5 min at 400 But it is even exceptionally better with tomato.

so 1 14oz can tomato petite diced ( drained) 2 tsp sea salt1/2 tsp black pepper1 tsp oregano1 tsp basil1 tbsp balsamic vinegarmix together above and then place and mesh colander to drain for 15 minutes then make following1/4 c balsamic reductionpoor reduction over tomatoes. and serve with bread and cheese dip.. though i tend not to always make the tomato part it is excellent together..

I just started to cook and love your website :-) I made this on Christmas and it was a big hit! I even made it again the next day (per guests requests because they loved it so much) There wasn't a drop left over. The only thing was mine didn't get crispy on the top like yours did (wondering did I not leave it in long enough?) Regardless it was amazing! Thanks

Jennifer: You could turn the oven to broil for a few minutes to get a nice and golden brown top. As suggested above, I was also thinking of topping it with a mixture of parmigiano reggiano and panko bread crumbs next time for an even crispier topping.

Oh My Lord. That looks positively... I am going to buy some artichokes next time at the supermarket JUST FOR THIS.

Do you know if it goes well atop some ciabatta and then thrown under the grill or something? It'd be great for like, half a dinner, or maybe even all of dinner if I'm lazy...it'd have all the food groups! hehe

I love hot spinach and artichoke dip! My version uses spinach, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, shredded parmesean and mozzarella, crushed garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, and black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. Mix everything together and bake at 350F until bubbly. Great with tortilla or lightly salted pita chips, or as a spread on slices of french bread. So yummy!

I've been in love with the dip since I first had it in university at Milestones. I've bought pre-made versions from Loblaws, but they never tasted the same. I've never eaten artichokes before until a few months ago at a friend's dinner party. And I've still never cooked artichokes, but will do so now that I have this recipe (though I already see my waistline increasing). I'll just pretend it's healthy with the artichoke and spinach.

It was amazing! So easy to make! I used frozen artichokes, and a few different cheeses, but it is coming out great! I'll probably make a pig out of myself and eat the whole bowl with a whole loaf of french bread!

WOW!!! I made this for my fiance's family reunion...over 80 italian relatives of his. I made this recipe x6, and mixed all the ingredients in a crockpot a few hours before we left & let it cook. I added a just a few more pinches of salt & used a little extra sriracha as the heat factor. the perfect amount of heat to please even the most sensitive palate. i didn't have panko on hand, so i just covered the top with extra cheese!! EVERYONE was asking who made it & the x6 recipe crockpot looked like it was licked clean within 20 minutes! I kept a little extra cup of it in my fridge...& it's fabulous even cold!!! thanks so much for the recipe! :D

I bookmarked this recipe ages ago, and finally made it for 2 parties this holiday. It was fantastic and everyone raved about it! Left the mayonnaise out because of a preference, but I'm sure it would be great with it too. Now I need to try more of your dip recipes!

I made this to take to Thanksgiving dinner. I had never tried anything with artichokes before, and was worried that it would not be very good. But surprisingly it was a huge hit! They actually asked me to make it for Christmas dinner too!

This looks so good, I just popped it into the oven and will render my verdict shortly. Thank you so much for inspiring me to try not just one but two recipes - tomorrow, it's the puff pastry with asparagus and gruyere! Except I couldn't find gruyere so am using smoked gouda.

I made this for dinner tonight and it is SO good. I left out the spinach just cuz I'm lazy, and used reduced fat on most of the other ingredients. I had it with crostini.

It's my new go-to for artichoke dip. Thank you so much for sharing it. My old one was good, but pretty greasy. This one is smooth, creamy, but not so heavy that it's kind of a bummer. This one is great!

This was sooo easy and SO amazing.. I already fwd to my sister! I have tried other dips before and they never came out as delicious as this one did and again.. SO EASY.. I am about to make the jalepeno popper dip now!

I added more cheese to the top and some bread crumbs and had to broil it a few minute after cooking to get it to brown on top. Also added Tabasco sause in place of chilli sauce. Oh, and some salt/pepper. YUM! Found your recipe on Pinterest...

I made this for the superbowl, but it came out kind of bland! I think it's because I didn't have chili sauce. I don't even know what chili sauce is actually. Is it hot sauce? Anyway, it looked gorgeous but wasn't cheesy enough or flavorful enough. Still yummy, but next time I'll be adding more cheese and seasonings!!

amanda: Fresh to frozen spinach seems to work out well with equal mass to start. I sometimes use two 5 ounce packages of fresh spinach instead of the 10 ounce package of frozen spinach. After you steam the fresh spinach and drain it you will have about the same amount as the frozen spinach after it is thawed and drained.

Marianna: I would just use a wider baking dish so that the dip is still only 1 1/2 - 2 inches thick. That way the bake time should not bee too much longer. It will be ready when the top is lightly golden brown and the sides are bubbling.

I have really bad luck with spinach and artichoke dips, theyre my favorite but can never get it to turn out right. this recipe was perfect! and so simple, absolutely loved the way it came out. thanks alot!

Have substituted the sometimes foods mayo & cream for a drained mixture of cottage cheese, ricotta & dijon mustard...a much healthier option & almost as good...it doesn't keep as well as the full fat version BTW hilpal x

I make a delicious spinach artichoke dip as well, except I melt down White American cheese with a bit of milk to keep it from tightening up too much, and I also add chopped roasted red peppers...I can't keep enough around for parties, it's usually the first dip/appetizer to disappear! Yours sounds excellent and I will surely give it a try!

Hi! I've never attempted a spinach artichoke dip, but really want to try your recipe! Crazy question...do you mix in the parm and mozz cheese and then top with more cheese? Or mix everything except the cheese and then top with the 1/4 cup of parm and mozz cheeses?

I made a double batch of this recipe yesterday, I used Birds Eye frozen Artichokes instead of canned, a few handfuls of shredded pizza cheese and about 1/2 of a container of Kraft shaky parmesan cheese... it was amazing!! It reheats well in the microwave as well!!!

I have been making one I got from Southern Living for at least 30-years that uses marinated artichokes and it's always a huge hit, but will be trying yours for company next week and might add some crabmeat.
